He's always been one of the most racist members of parliament. He threw a tantrum and boycotted the apology for the stolen generation during his early days as an opposition front-bencher.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If you're elected prime Minister, then the world has officially ended so do what you want you dickless fuckhead.
He's got a good chance. All he needs do is say "are you worse now than 3 years ago," while not providing a better solution than what we lived through
More than a good chance. Albo’s paralysed with the fear of fucking it up, and has the unmistakable stench of a one-term government. Given the media and the oligarchs’ bias, it’d be a miracle if he scrapes through.
And Elon is going to jump into our election for our regulator trying to bring Twitter into line with Aussie community expectations. Albo has no charisma, of we've learnt one thing about Trump is that politicians need to change and stop counting numbers
The best Australia can hope for is that Musk is too busy trying to make Nigel Farage the UK’s PM or kickstarting a Fourth Reich in Germany or something, and forgets all about this dusty corner of the South Pacific until it’s too late.
Yeah, seems most people have forgotten that inflation was already over 6% for the quarter when Liberal left office in 2022. Labor didn't cause the problem, they inherited it. And they helped start to bring down inflation within 6 months.
I'm not saying Albo and Labor are a godsend, but Liberal are a far worse choice. The Libs blew over $50 billion on the NBN screw up and Snowy 2.0. And their nuclear power project is already looking to easily exceed that.
…and completely ignoring that a lot of countries are struggling.
Sounds oh so familiar...
Certainly, we're going to have Musk and Murdoch pushing for Dutton to get in and our dumbass populace will buy whatever those two media networks are selling as usual.
If you are confused by seeing multiple flags you should not be PM
arguing for unity under a single national flag.
One flag, one volk, one fuhrer. I heard this one before.
Blatant racism.
We have multiple flags where I live. There's absolutely no confusion.
Yeah, those indigenous people should stop being confusing by having a flag and go back where they came from! Am I right?
You guys need to stop being divisive when that's his job!
Hang on lads, I’ve got a great idea…why don’t they create a new flag that represents everyone?
South Park is leaking again
I dunno. The first half was the original Italian Job.
Since his listing what flags he won't stand next to, I guess you have to assume anything he doesn't list he's willing to stand next to. Right? Doesn't that follow? So what flags is a cool with then?
